Packrafting Alaska While it's Still Wild | INDIE ALASKA
Packrafting is an Alaska-born sport that's picked up popularity in the past ten years. Because of their ability to be folded into the size of a small sleeping bag, packrafts have become a favorite #adventure tool among backpackers looking to extend hiking trips, and thrill-seekers looking to conquer #whitewater rapids. Luc Mehl has been packrafting around Alaska for the past 15 years. His adventures have taken him into the Alaska Range, the Brooks Range, and the Wrangells. When he's not in his #packraft, he trains others in swiftwater rescue and packrafting.
Video and story by Joey Mendolia
With video from Luc Mehl, Mike Curiak, David Manzer and Mark Oates

A Trip to Alaska (Fairbanks)
I went on a business trip to Fairbanks Alaska and decided to film some random stuff along the way. I didn't really have a focus on what kind of elements I wanted to portray in this video so it is lacking in direction. Nevertheless, here it is!

This video was created by Katmai National Park.
“Katmai National Park and Preserve is a United States National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska, notable for the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and for its Alaskan brown bears. The park and preserve covers 4,093,077 acres (6,395.43 sq mi; 16,564.09 km2), being roughly the size of Wales. Most of this is a designated wilderness area in the national park where all hunting is banned, including over 3,922,000 acres (1,587,000 ha) of land. The park is named after Mount Katmai, its centerpiece stratovolcano. The park is located on the Alaska Peninsula, across from Kodiak Island, with headquarters in nearby King Salmon, about 290 miles (470 km) southwest of Anchorage. The area was first designated a national monument in 1918 to protect the area around the major 1912 volcanic eruption of Novarupta, which formed the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, a 40-square-mile (100 km2), 100-to-700-foot-deep (30 to 213 m) pyroclastic flow. The park includes as many as 18 individual volcanoes, seven of which have been active since 1900.
“Following its designation, the monument was left undeveloped and largely unvisited until the 1950s. Initially designated because of its violent volcanic history, the monument and surrounding lands became appreciated for their abundance of sockeye salmon, the grizzly bears that fed upon them, and a wide variety of other Alaskan wildlife and marine life. After a series of boundary expansions, the present national park and preserve were established in 1980 under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980.”

The Alaska Pipeline (With Historical Facts)
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is one of the world's largest pipeline systems. It is commonly called the Alaska pipeline, trans-Alaska pipeline, or Alyeska pipeline, (or the pipeline as referred to in Alaska), but those terms technically apply only to the 800 miles (1,287 km) of the pipeline with the diameter of 48 inches (122 cm) that conveys oil from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, Alaska.
It cost $8 billion to build the pipeline which was built between 1974 and 1977 after the 1973 oil crisis caused a sharp rise in oil prices in the United States. Several notable incidents of oil leakage have occurred since, including those caused by sabotage, maintenance failures, and gunshot holes. The pipeline has shipped about 16 billion barrels of oil since it was built.

America's Most Dangerous Highway Reality vs Reality Pt 4
The Haul Road is just wide enough for two trucks, temperatures plummet well below zero, poor visibility can blind drivers from seeing ditches in the road and avalanches sometimes block roads for hours at a time, but just how real is this reality show.
